He put up some truly exquisite minor league numbers, including a 1.16 ERA and 237 strikeouts in 179 innings over four seasons, and the early returns in the majors look great. Quackenbush doesn't have an overpowering fastball, but it didn't stop him from succeeding -- especially at home. He had a 0.88 ERA in 30.7 innings at Petco Park, compared to a 4.56 on the road. Those numbers will probably balance out to some degree this year, but Petco still plays to the pitchers. Quackenbush got a look in the ninth inning during the second half and acquitted himself well with six saves, but Joaquin Benoit was excellent in 2014 and remains in place as the likely closer. However, Quackenbush has deeper-league value even without a ninth-inning role and could emerge as an all-formats play if the 37-year-old Benoit is injured or ineffective.","seasonId":2015,"date":"Tue Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":0.8,"playerRater15DAY":0.7,"positionRank":127}

SAN DIEGO -- The Los Angeles Dodgers might have a soft schedule between now and the end of the regular season, but Friday night was a strong reminder that they cant just throw their gloves on the field and expect to win.

The San Diego Padres activated outfielder Carlos Quentin from the disabled list on Tuesday before the start of their three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, bringing their lineup closer to full strength.
